Footnotes

  1. 39 Heb “blessed [be] the Lord.”
  2. 40 Heb “for he caused his faithfulness to be amazing to me in a besieged city.” The psalmist probably speaks figuratively here. He compares his crisis to being trapped in a besieged city, but the Lord answered his prayer for help. Verses 19–24 were apparently written after the Lord answered the prayer of vv. 1–18.
